HIRAM B. FISHER, OF KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN.

CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 598,917, dated February 15, 1898. Application filed Augu t, 17, 1896. Serial No. 603,077. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HIRAM B. FISHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Kalamazoo, in the county of Kalamazoo and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oufi- Holders, of which the following'is a specification.

. My invention relates to improvements in cuff-holders.

It relates particularly to that class of cuffholders which support the cuffs within the sleeves either by attaching to the lining of the coat or to the shirt-sleeve, and is particularly designed for mens use.

As heretofore constructed these cuff-holders do not take hold of the cuff securely and allow the same to become disengaged or disconnected from the cuff, or else the cuff in a little time will playloosely upon them.

The objects of this invention are, therefore, to provide a cuff -holder easy to construct which shall retain the parts securely in place and at the same time be easy to apply. I accomplish these objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an enlarged perspective view of a cuff-holder embodying the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view in a vertical plane passing throughline 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a slightly-modified construction; and Fig. 4 is a sectional view on a vertical plane through line 4 4 of Fig. 3,-showing the details of construction.

In the drawings similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the lettered parts of the drawings, A represents a pair of spring-jaws such as are ordinarily used in garment-supporters coil is suitably pointed and turned slightly outward for convenience ininserting the same.

The cuff-holder is attached to the cuff by inserting the coil through the buttonholes and giving the same one complete turn,which will insert the coil one-half through and clasp the cufi between the coils securely. When the jaws A are attached to the shirt-sleeve or the lining of the coat-sleeve, any turning of the coil is prevented and the cuff is securely held, so far as any practical necessities are concerned, as though it were a part of the cuff itself.

For convenience in manufacture it is desirable to extend the shoulderB intoan elongated sleeve, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4, in which case the shank B can be divided and inserted into each end of the sleeve. This, while it increases the number of parts, so facilitates the manufacture that'at present it is the best construction;

Having thus described my improved cuffholder, I desire to statethat it is capable of considerable variation in its details. Other styles of jaws might be used for attaching. Jaws might be secured rigidly to shank B,

and, in fact, other means of attaching than the able engaging jaws at the'opposite end 00- acting therewith to prevent the spiral from turning.

33. In a cuff-holder, the combination of a shank terminating with a spiral at one end for insertion into a cuff and a suitable attaching means at the opposite end for attaching a cuff to a sleeve to prevent the spiral In witness whereof I have hereunto set my from turning as specified. hand and seal in the presence of two Witnesses.

l. In a cuff-holder, the combination of a p p A spiral for insertion into the buttonhole of a HIRAM FISHER 5 cuff and suitable engaging means attached Witnesses:

thereto for attaching the same to the sleeve to V. E. OHAPPELL, prevent the spiral from turning as specified. WV. S. YVOOD.
